We pay enough road tax, council tax so do not try to justiify thus! What about residents! Greed!

Absolutely disgraceful. Very soon there will be nothing left in Huddersfield to visit! Yet another way of keeping potential shoppers out if the area. Truly a town in utter decline.

Lindley is a thriving village with a great range of local shops. Charging for parking will make it hard for local traders to survive & push vehicles onto the smaller already congested pedestrian streets, one of which houses the entrances to a school, kids club & dance school. This is a terrible idea

As a Lindley street resident I strongly object to the proposals to introduce charges at Lindley car park. It is already difficult to park on the street near our house and these proposals will only exacerbate the situation.

Will Kirklees Council be extending this to ALL villages and shopping hamlets of the borough? I doubt that very much! Clearly they are hell-bent on killing Lindley in the same way they have the town centre. Oh, and don’t dare blame Central Government for this one! Other councils seem to manage their money without changing for local parking.

This sort of action kills small businesses in local villages, save the parking charges for the big towns and retail chains.

Kirklees Council is greedy - these car parks are used by shoppers - charge for parking and the shoppers will go elsewhere.

Our community needs some Free Parking, leave it alone.

This will place more strain on existing residential parking probably resulting more wide spread use of permits. Threatening the businesses on the high street. No one wants that.

I can see the Car Park being empty and the streets in close proximity being full of cars all day. God help us at school times too it bad enough now with free car parking.

We should be encouraging people to come into the village for its economic prosperity not driving them away with parking charges.
